JABBA THE AGNIVORE

LAMB FOR LECKIE!

I don't know if the Sun has overtaken the Daily Record as Scotland's best-selling 'newspaper' yet, but it must be there or thereabouts. I know my dad buys it now instead of the DR, mainly because it's cheaper and the racing section is better. Mind you, he's thinking of buying a Kindle, where he'll be able to read the Racing Post for free instead! Anyway, he prefers the Sun at the moment, as do people who read online, especially since the Daily Record decided to ban comments.

Another area where the Sun is competing fiercely with the Daily Record is in the agnivore stakes; step forward Mr Bill Leckie, your lamb dinner's ready! Like good old Jabba, Leckie decides to play the SFL good/SPLbad card. Like some childish Rangers fan commenting on a blog, he can't even bring himself to write the letters SPL, instead coming up with 'EssPeeEll.' Sad, or what?

Anyway, the gist of his column is that the SPL's plans for reconstruction are purely selfish and just for the benefit of its member teams. The plans of the SFL, on the other hand are wonderful and a panacea for all the problems in Scottish football. This, of course, completely ignores why the SPL was set up in the first place!

Isn't it strange that people that never gave a damn about the teams in our lower leagues are suddenly championing their cause? I wonder what it is that has changed!

Meanwhile, Sooperally must have been reading my blog. He's come out in support of the Elgin player that was sent off, as Rangers' opponents usually are. Remember I said that the referees would be called into line? Stand by for no more red cards in Rangers matches! The SFL teams must be kept onside!

My God, they're so transparent!
